Improved Resource Planning
A lot of companies are of the opinion that capacity and resource management holds a lot of potential for optimisation. However, this potential is rarely put to use. In addition to the lack of processes, there are often no adequate tool solutions.
Our experts not only define the required processes for efficient capacity and resource management, they also provide support during implementation and sustainable embedding.

Stemming Conflicts
We provide process templates – this is important for defining capacity and resource management flows. These involve organization-specific factors: the company’s type of organisation and projects, employees’ interdisciplinary focus or how resources are distributed between locations. Figure 1 shows an example of a resource management process.
Different Employees – Different Solutions
- Figure 2: Capacity Utilisation Analysis
Capacity and resource management has to be successful. To achieve this, processes have to be automated correspondingly via an IT tool. Without this tool it is impossible to successfully handle process compliance if there is a large number of employees. In such cases, we provide a wide range of solutions – particularly solutions based on Microsoft Office Project Server. You can choose between a standard product and a product customised to your needs. Figure 2 shows how capacity utilisation is analysed.
Avoiding Capacity Overload
Capacity and resource management makes it easier for you to decide how many employees you need at a given point in time. This helps to avoid capacity overload and allow you to complete projects on schedule and deliver high quality. On the portfolio level, you can also decide how many projects your company can afford and when they can be realized.
